Two joke/poems

“Kisser” by yours truly

Defendant: “Yes, your Honor, I am an emoji kisser.

Their smiles can be so pleasant.”

Judge: “What shall we do, Mr. MacGoo?”

“Not sure . I get  saliva on the computer screen from kissing emojis there so much.”

” You could start a fire if you do not stop kissing them. You need prompt corrective action. Immediately stop contact with tre woman  sending them.”

“Yes, your Honor.”

“”Revision” by yours truly

Jimi Hendrix:

“Excuse me while I piss my pants.

Excuse me only happenstance.

Excuse me need  to stamp on ants.

Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky!”

Ahh, got it’ right finally.

Two joke/poems  for 2/2/2023

“Waiting” by yours truly.

He said, “The oven is broken, and the heat won’t work.”

The landlord thinks I am a jerk.

She said, “We can put in another work order, Mr. Ed.”

Waiting for Godot or work order.

Enough said perhaps.

“”Ice” by yours truly

Ice cubes

Sometimes falling from tray to ground.

At first lost. then found.

Back in the glass, round and round.

They make my ‘tongue cool and sound.

This I shall propound;

Ice cubes.

Three poems: two joking and one more serious

  1. “A Broad” by yours truly

“What is wrong with this country?

I may have to move abroa.d

As if I could move a broad.”.

” Don’t call women ‘broads.’

You are objectifying us.”

“You are the object of my affection.

Am I moving you, broad?”

“Kissing Emoji” by yours truly

Standing the beach

In a very short bathing suit (Speedo).

Kissing emoji.

She is bit hirsute-y.

The sun is in my eyes.

On the ground there is sand.

Don’t the emoji understand?

I’m alive.

I’m Ed.

I’m the Stranger

Kissing emoji.

Kissing emoji.

— with  apologies to Robert Smith of the pop group The Cure, Albertk Canus, and ;co-writer John  Jacob Jnglieheimer Schmidt

3) “Passages” by yours truly

Passing in. passing out.

We almost passed through the door.

Into a possible future together.

More and mo.re.

instead. only the door.

Ignore.

A comment  and a brief poe.m

I have had financial problems the past few years, and recently said to a social media friend that I thi;nk money is usually neutral: it is only a problem if you have very little or too much. Being a decent person; matters more.

“Outage” by yours truly

Recorded  voice:

“There has been an outage of TV and Inernet service

In your area.

Please do not try to reach technicians.

They can not help.”

On puritanism

Sometimes I refer. to mainstream media just to justify my subscriptibns to a few. This from’ a column in The Irish; Times.

Finn McRedmond: When did we begin to become such puritans?

Plans to label wine as cancerous are the latest way of finger-wagging at an oafish public who don’t know how to look after themselves.

I said  recently at a bar that it is socially acceptable to have one drink in public, and the main reason many in the US think it is not is the vestiges of prohibition.

Of course, moderation. Anything in excess can be deadly.

On moderation

A social-media contact advised slowing. down when I spoke of blogging and writing a new novella. My pretty niece had a saying, “Go slow.”

“She bid me take life easy as the grass grows on the weirs, … but I was young and foolish and now am full of tears.” –W.B. Yeats in the poem. ” Down by the Salley Gardens.”

My Dad ‘said, “Pace yourself.” Yes.

Just a brief poem and a comment

“Wind” by yours truly

Sometimes it is better to just listen as the wind blows

Instead of hearing music and pretend

That you are…

The wind storm won’t really depress.

As much as total silence

And  not as mentally intrusive

As pop music.

“Whistle as the wind blows.” — REM in “Wendell Gee”

Comment

Had to do some chores today. I rely on taxi  drivers and phone operators forr a lot of chores.. Two thoughts. One iis that I am no smarter than practical workers even though I probably spent more time in school.. The other is that the phone operators for my taxi and delivery service all seem to be from the Philippines even though the company is based in the US.. That is okay..

Two. joke/poems

“Yep” by yours truly

“Yep,” she said.

Maybe his words were too tep-id.

He would have approached but could not make another step.

She said it is like cars being blown over on a Kazakh steppe.

So down went his rep.

“Yep.”

“Hey!” by yours truly

“Hey, that’s my joke!”

“Easy bloke. It was only a flattering poke.

You know what they say about imitation:

The sincerest form of,,,,”

” You drink too much

But at least do not smoke..”

“My Dad said, “Hey (hay) is for horses'”

“But hey, that’s my joke!”

Two poems and a comment

“Set” by yours truly

Dull blue sunset

(And things you won’t regret),

On the East this evening.

And what are you believing?

On the West, brighter and colorful light.

Wonderful.

“Hey” by yours truly

“Hey, that’s my joke!”

“Easy bloke, only a flattering poke.”

“You drink too much

But at least don’t smoke.”

“My Dad said, hey (or hay) is for horses.”

” Of course is,

But, hey, that’s my joke, said Mr. Ed.”

A comment

I was going to say something about an online romance, but it is complicated. How do you know if a woman wants to part with you or just is trying to make you more productive?
